But with VPNs, if policies simply changed based on your IP, things will get hyper-balkanized quickly.\n\n3. Who is the denominator?

Its original context is from the bible. But I've personally interpreted the art more as the difference between leading a life w/ specific values versus one without.\n\nLiving a life with rigid values means you will lead a narrower life, one where you meet fewer people & partake in fewer life experiences. But it also means you lead, in a way, an easier life. Your decisions are easier because you have specific values that you can easily fall back on. You're not conflicted bc the way forward is always clear. (The canonical example I always think of are vegetarians: they'll never know what meat tastes like, but they'll always know what they want to eat.)\n\nLiving a life with more relaxed values means the opposite: yes, you'll experience more of what life has to offer. But the tradeoff for that flexibility is that you'll spin a lot of cycles trying to navigate difficult dilemmas and have to proportionately make tougher choices. You'll often be internally conflicted. And you'll often be more lost, bc you've chosen a life that requires more wandering.\n\nTo be clear, there is no right and wrong camp. And it obviously can change too, depending on your life stage. I personally know people in both camps who report and present as perfectly happy. It all just depends on your own specific disposition and most people live on a spectrum somewhere between the two poles.\n\nPersonally, for me: when I was younger, I was definitely more in the \"rigid values\" camp. \"A is A\". Right and wrong were always very clear to me. Then as I got older --specifically, after I got married-- I gave up on many of my values (the old adage about \"you can be principled or you can be married\") and wandered the desert for a while. But now I'm even older and have gotten some time to recalibrate to married life (it's essentially comparable to going from straightforward Euclidean geometry to not just Riemann geometry, but n-th dimensions, seriously), I'm beginning to anchor back to having more rigid values again." }, { "id": 250, "title": "The Brandon Miller story & the Giving Tree", "dt": "2024-08-24", "url": "https://x.com/robert_gpt/status/1827493999902326786", "people": [ { "name": "The New York Times", "handle": "nytimes" } ], "refs": [ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HH-PHw2Uvw", "https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/nyregion/brandon-miller-suicide-debt.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Bk4.2YL4.ovMDyp6S6EHL&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb", "https://www.wsj.com/style/dave-rachel-hollis-disney-1ffac082?st=4xt17o2zjp29b2r&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink" ], "img": [ "https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GVyN4AZXIAAfctM?format=jpg&name=medium" ], "tweetText": "The NYT Brandon Miller story has been on my mind a lot recently.

All these kinds of constraints do tie you down, but they also give form & purpose to your life. They keep you grounded & tethered to reality.\n\nEvery day, if you have kids, by simply making it through the day, you have contributed to your children's development. You've answered their questions, fed them, and have helped them grow. Every day, even if you're purely moving through the world in a reactive mode, you've done something meaningful w/ your life. (Or at least, moved the needle forward in some small way. At very minimum, you're at least contributing to the future tax base of your country. You are contributing to a collective project, larger than yourself!)\n\nBut in the absence of children being the forcing function, childfree ppl need to be disciplined ab how they structure their life. Not for one day, one week, or one year. But for your entire life. Also, you have to make sure you're actually doing something w/ your life. When you're childless, it's easy to squander entire days without contributing anything to anyone." }, { "id": 192, "title": "Money Buys Happiness with no Plateau for 80% of people - Updated 2023 Study", "dt": "2024-07-02", "url": "https://x.com/robert_gpt/status/1808340570391163169", "people": [ { "name": "FORTUNE", "handle": "FortuneMagazine" } ], "refs": [ "https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnjennings/2024/02/12/money-buys-happiness-after-all/" ], "tweetText": "https://forbes.com/sites/johnjennings/2024/02/12/money-buys-happiness-after-all/…\n\nI am in the group of ppl for whom increasing money buys increasing happiness with no plateau.

First was my laptop yrs ago (Lenovo from Dell). Then my scooter (NIU). And now I'm considering an Open (OnePlus from Samsung). For yrs, everything was made in China (eg. your fancy MacBook) but then other companies just slapped their logo over it. But now I think China's finally getting into the international market w/ their own premium Chinese brands. (The other obvious example here is TikTok. But not me! Still on X. \"🙂\")\n\nAs of now though, I do still use:\n- Microsoft (US) - keyboard\n- Logitech (Swiss) - mouse\n- Bose (US) - headphones\n\nIt's just a bit of cognitive dissonance for me bc for years I've never associated Chinese brands with quality (w/ the exception of Lenovo. And honestly, that's just bc I use ThinkPad, which they'd acquired from IBM). To me, quality always meant American, Japanese, or Korean. Or maybe a European country (for cars, for example). But I think that's changing now. Chinese brands are ascendant! A whole new generation of Americans are going to grow up regularly using TikTok, Shein, and Temu, thinking that Chinese companies are the cream of the crop. (And if American car companies weren't protected by US tariffs, BYD would likely be a huge Tesla competitor, I think.)\n\nAm curious though— what brands are ppl using nowadays?
